Airbus TETRA Systems

Digital radio networks for professionals

Secure communication over radio is essential for professionals on the move.

When seconds make a difference

In fast-changing situations and when lives may be at stake, professionals need communications that they can trust.

Communication between teams is critical for any operation. Efficient co-operation gets results in everyday situations. In exceptional situations, co-operation helps minimize damage to people and property.

In any situation, professionals must be able to communicate over radio:

With their colleagues in the field

With other teams

With mobile applications

With the dispatching or command centre.

Modern and proven

Airbus TETRA System

The radio communication network has to be proven in practice. Yet it has to be a modern solution. Investments today need to benefit your organization now and in the future.

A TETRA radio communication system from Airbus is the safe, professional choice. No other technology today can better meet the users' needs today - or even in the near future. These systems will continue to give valuable service for another 20-30 years.

In addition to the Airbus TETRA system – scalable from a local to nationwide network, there are two choices for easy set-up:

What about the future?

What's the future of TETRA? After all, broadband technologies such as LTE offer great possibilities. New multimedia-enriched messaging or video transmissions from the field can bring new efficiencies to everyday operations.

Where does trusty TETRA fit in these scenarios?

The answer: TETRA and LTE complement each other. And there are 50 ways that TETRA can provide the long-term support you need. Download this eBook and learn the 50 ways:

TB3 TETRA base station - Unrivalled coverage, optimal cost

The TB3-series base stations are sensitive and powerful. Use them to build excellent radio coverage without black spots very cost-effectively.

Taira TETRA Server - Virtual TETRA core

Taira TETRA Server is also a key building block for Tactilon Suite and PMR evolution - future you can trust.

Tactilon Management

Managing network users’ data, access rights and other attributes is an important task. When there are thousands of users, one just cannot do this one user at a time. Special tools are needed for efficient management of subscribers.

Reliable with excellent coverage

The network is reliable every day but also also in exceptional circumstances

Your users will appreciate the excellent radio coverage without black spots

They will see and hear a clear indication if their radio should lose its connection

TETRA communication is easy for the users:

They press the PTT key on the radio to talk to a group of people

One click, and the dispatcher can talk to everyone

Background noise is filtered out

There is the red key for personal emergency

… and many more

And there's more -

Organizations in the system stay secure and private from each other

The security features will meet your requirements

Data communications do not require a different device.

Plus, TETRA offers a smooth evolution to broadband

Keeping the system with the latest software release guarantees the most modern solution following the PMR evolution.

Smart devices and new data applications

TETRA evolution

More and more, the users of critical communications also need to use new data applications and smart devices. Broadband solutions are needed in addition to TETRA.

It would not make sense to replace an existing well-serving mission critical or business critical network with an alternative that does not meet all requirements. A better solution is to evolve the current network into a hybrid TETRA and LTE network.
